Juventus coach Allegri happy with character shown for victory over Spezia

Juventus coach Max Allegri was happy with their 1-0 win against Spezia.

Alvaro Morata struck a first-half winner for the Bianconeri.

“It was a good start, we should've had more than two goals in the first half. Then some fatigue set in, which can happen when you have so many players out and cannot rotate," Allegri told DAZN.

“If you want to reach your objectives, you have to play these games with suffering and it was important to bring home the three points. We need to prepare for Sampdoria, then Villarreal and continue this cycle in the best possible way.

“I have never seen a team win every game easily. You get to the Champions League and all your targets through performances like this, winning 1-0 with suffering.

“People forget quickly in football, but in my five years we had a lot of 1-0 results spent sitting in our own half for the final 20 minutes. The important thing is not to let anything go in those moments."
